Below is the larger view of this flower head, it is an Australian Banksia.
As the flower spikes or heads age, the flower parts dry up and may turn shades of orange, tan or dark brown colour, before fading to grey over a period of years. Perhaps the best known cultural reference to Banksia is the "big bad Banksia men" of May Gibbs' children's book Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. Gibb's "Banksia men" are modelled on the appearance of aged Banksia "cones", with follicles for eyes and other facial features.

Solitaires et latérales, un éperon court, elles peuvent être violettes, pourpres, bleues, jaunes ou blanche (etc.)…
Leurs stipules sont palmatilobées ou bien palmatiséquées. Les pensées sont profondes !
surely, came something good,

Few have greater riches than the joy / That comes to us in visions, / In dreams which nobody can take away.

The world is always a combination of will and imagination. What do You see here? For me she dreams about being a bride - would be the most obvious interpretation.
Finding quiet places in the parks is hard, especially when they are still open. After capturing a sunset shot over by Universe of Energy I walked around the park waiting for illuminations to start. I got to the Imagination building and it was completely empty. Unfortunately this spot is usually pretty empty because the Journey into Imagination ride is so bad. Its really a shame what they have done to Figment. Once a beloved ride has turned into something people do just to kill time or get out of the rain.
Journey into Imagination is probably my least favorite ride in the parks (I head Stitch's Alien Encounter is bad also but I have never been on it). What ride(s) do you think need to be replaced or updated?

"I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see."
Duane Michals
Sembra un dato di fatto che l'uomo e forse la donna ancora di più, abbia bisogno di una certa dose di finzione, vale a dire, abbia bisogno dell'immaginario oltre che dall'accaduto e del reale. Non mi spingerei fino al punto di usare espressioni che trovo risapute o kitsch, come affermare che l'essere umano ha bisogno di "sognare" o di "evadere".. Preferisco dire che ha bisogno di conoscere il possibile oltre che il vero, le congetture e le ipotesi e i fallimenti oltre ai fatti, ciò che è stato tralasciato e ciò che sarebbe potuto essere oltre a quello che è stato. Quando si parla della vita di un uomo o di una donna, quando se ne traccia una ricapitolazione o un riassunto, quando se ne racconta la storia o la biografia, in un dizionario, in una enciclopedia o in una cronaca o chiacchierando fra amici, si è soliti raccontare ciò che quella persona ha portato a compimento e ciò che è effettivamente accaduto. In fondo tutti abbiamo la stessa tendenza , vale a dire quella di vederci nelle diverse fasi della nostra vita come risultato e compendio di ciò che ci è accaduto e di ciò che abbiamo ottenuto e di ciò che abbiamo realizzato, come se fosse soltanto questo ciò che costituisce la nostra esistenza.

Imagination is all you need in the ancient, history rich land of Myanmar…
While exploring monasteries in the town of Mandalay, I came across this child who was playing amongst some ruins in the grounds of an old monastery. He took a break from his play for this portrait in the leafy surroundings.
I have been reading Neil Gaimon's American Gods.
What if belief actually transported and bred the necessary angels, demons, pixies you name it across the seas? If nothing else, apart from turmoil, they have given our imagination wings to soar on. Phoenixes, like myths and folklore, have a tendency to burst in flames and birth into life. A tendency to talk to us and transport us into their world, blurring lines of fantasy.
Of course, they are short lived and our memories will forget them.

This design really doesn't change much of the years. But it is still quite the sight to behold.

one of my favourite things when i was small was to scribble all over a page and then fill in the gaps with colours . it used to amuse me for hours so i suppose this is a bit like that only on a computer and not a piece of paper and crayons.
